The only racists in this situation are the people who saw a correlation between the boys' skin colour and the writing on the hoodie. If you are not racist , you shouldn't even care about someone's skin colour.

I’m black and I found it really distasteful and my friends thought the same. We aren’t ‘closeted racist, no fun having, gender bending, political correcting, boring ass people‘. We actually very fun loving, lit people

Funny because I'm black and I did not care one bit and i wasn't boring enough to find it 'distasteful'. Just grow a pair and stop getting offended over everything, there are more serious issues around the world.

Kk. That’s you. Maybe you haven’t been called a monkey in a pejorative way before.

At the same time I'd hope no one's idiotic enough to choose that jumper for the black kid when theyre a major retailer.

Always two sides to the coin.

always many sides to the coin, like others have said maybe the boy himself really liked that jumper and wanted to wear it, or maybe the colour suited him the best. everybody uses the phrase "cheeky monkey" especially towards kids or are we going to be banning that phrase from schools as well when someone (white) cries racism.

Right, because it's totally reasonable to assume the kid understand the historical racist discourse that people of his race were subjected to.

Only white boys can be called that. Otherwise it’s racist!! *Sarcasm intensifies* lol
